I recently saw on tv a man who claims he knows the best way for a human to develop, more physically then mentally in this case. He says that humans working out on a machine are exercising in a way humans weren't meant to, by doing repetitive movements and running in a strait line, he says that by throwing stones and doing cave man like activities, and eating raw meat and vegetables, he is being more healthy, do you guys think this actually works?
exactly as tom said,but just with less risk and less rewards,see?

Not at all. My way involves everyone week dieng and everyone strong reproducing strong children that then grow strong and the week die.... survive of the fitest. But as I have said running around a forest is no better then running on a tredmill
Well actually, Our bodies haven't evolved since the Late ice Age. but due to most people's modern lives, we don't need those. The reason WHY people get fat, is because of a gene that the cavemen had. FAT is stored ENERGY. It is unused energy kept by the body. Thats why exercising spends this energy. Cavemen, (at least dating back to Homo Erectus or neanderthals) Did know how to create fire, and did make tools.
It is the hard physical life, of which we won't obtain in our modern enviroment at the moment. It's actually because of our Cavemen Ancestors that we get fat, because their deit was pretty thin. They ate as much as they could when they could. But they often had strenous activities such as hunting, foraging, Tool making, and combat. So it's no wonder that the Cavemen weren't fat.
So one thing to note too, Earlier species, although they may have been stronger, and more ape like Humans, were not as Smart or Intelligent, or as aggressive as a matter of fact, as Modern Humans. Our speciesx, Homo Sapians, is the most Aggressive human species ever conceived yet. The Neaderthals, although as smart as us, and mabye a bti Brawnier, Were killed by us. We killed the Neanderthals, because we were far mroe aggressive. That, and paired with diseases, and that and we starved the poor buggers, was the cause that a species jsut as brilliant, and stronger then us, died out by our hand.
So really, we are cavemen we once were 10000 years ago. It's just because of our aggression that we seeked to dominate each other, in both technology, by who has better tools, weapons, or luxeries, that we have come to our modern age. It's because of our Aggression, our competition. Thats why we are a stronger race then what has goen before, or rather, a more succsessful race.
It's nto that throwing rocks will make you skinny. Just do more work. Strenous activities, deosn't matter if it's Exercise, or physical labour, will thin you out. Thats why over here in Dominican, not many people are obese.

Im saying if we wanted a way like this, killing off the week and catching food with our hands whould be best. And we have evolved, slightly, we are taller and less muscular, as you said partly do to our habits, but also partly to evelution.
314d1, if we evolved for being taller, why the hell am I 5'10? And im supposed to be Black?
We haven't evolved from the ICe age, as a whole species. it's a proven fact. It's just certain people have in their certain area's, have evolved somewhat to the conditions. Black people are clsoer to the Equator, and have sunnier conditions. White folk are in colder climates. Arabs are in hotter enviroments, and sandier ones. East Asians, such as Chinese, are in Humid enviroments. Mesoamerican Natives, again humid and overgrown enviroments. Inuit, are in colder climates, and they have sqaure, stronger teeth, with sharp canines, because they almsot eat purely meat.
We all have adapted to our conditions. But our body frames aren't too diffrent besides some features. We have all stayed the same for the majority of our bodies.
cave men had ridged skulls. their heads were shaped for biting and mauling. we evolved so our heads are shaped for less bite and more smart. cave men were not as smart as we are today. the small back part of their head had a small brain.

There avrage hight was lower then that, and our avarage is much higher, mainly do to nutrition but partly do to evelution. And as A5 said we have different skulls. And its the differances that are the slight evelutions I have been talking about.
Honestly, unless you have obesity problems, cave man style really isn't necessary.
then explain to me why we evolved from them macho-man into us puny people,and suggest a way where we can turn back into those macho man
Macho? They were squat and short, not necessarily muscular at all.
the first thing is to act like him,so in this case,to become as strong as a cavemen,shouldnt you do what it does first?
So your suggesting that throwing stones works better than steroids or heavy weights?
Going cave man isn't necessarily the answer. It's finding a psychological balance that you can sustain, in other words finding what's right for you to eat and finding the right quantities to eat it in. Cave men were primitive, everything they knew was based on having to survive. We don't necessarily have to survive, we just live. In the US and many other countries you don't have to search for food or protect it from others.
My point is, if you want to go climb trees and throw stones and brandish clubs, go ahead. But honestly it really isn't necessary to regress back to a caveman.
Well if you want to get stronger then you have to just work harder, the whole eating less and working out to lose weight is just that to lose weight most body builders try to consume Alot of protein...those weird supplements I have heard that most are not regulated so they can put anything in it, anyways I don't think eating different things everyday isn't what made them strong just the fact they had to run and chase down their prey with a stick or stone maybe...or run away from being prey...also the whole obesity thing is suppose to be a survival mechanism for cavemen..the fat cave man was the one that was more likely to scurvies..and by fat I don't meant lazy and weak just he had a few more pounds of fat to run off of...
i think it is more healthy bec. doing these activities instead of lifting weights helps in a more diverse way than repeated motions do. Anyways, someone said that they died younger so it isn't as healthy, they died mostly bec. of miscarriages, and the ones that died at 23 died bec. of animals or diseases and open wounds, not bec. of un-healthy life styles.
then explain to me why we evolved from them macho-man into us puny people,and suggest a way where we can turn back into those macho man
1) Because the environment in which we needed to adapt to changed. Muscle tone is gained by continuously contracting your muscles past it's threshold. What did cavemen do? They hunted. They shaped weapons. They made their own houses. Once Man formed societies, there was less need for muscle and more need for intelligence, in order to improve what little technological standing they had. Technology improves, there was even lesser need for muscles, because we had guns. There was no need for melee combat anymore; we could shoot far away to kill! Man's environment to survival changed, and they have adapted so.
2) Anyone can shape their body to become muscular. It's the matter of having the higher physique. What cavemen needed were strong people to hunt fast and brutal game. Food was top priority, and they made it so. The strongest peoples, aka those with high physiques, were favored more. You can be very stocky, but it's the matter of shaping it by doing continuous strenuous exercises to build up the muscle.
Thank you Frank, prehistoric nomadic people were constantly in motion. If, the women were off finding water and gathering berries, fruits, etc. with the young children; then the men and boys were off hunting, field dressing/butchering,etc. Once they learned about harnessing fire, BBQ was born, yum. There are plenty of people world-wide who still eat raw fish,(sushi), raw beef,(steak tar-tar), oysters on the half-shell,(my personal fave.),etc. Getting back to the "constant motion", guess what causes Arthritis? Also, North American ancient Indian women actually wore the enamel of their teeth down by chewing leather to soften it up, yum. But of all of the ancient activities, modern doctors will tell you,(I asked two of my Orthopaedic Surgeons) that walking and swimming rank on the top of the list of approved repetitive activities. The human body was built to move, not sit.
